Record Breaking Amazon Swim

Martin Strel of Slovenia has completed a swim of the 3,272 mile long Amazon river.

He has averaged 50 miles per day since he started on February 1st. The 52-year-old has already conquered the Danube, Yangtze, and Mississippi. He continues to break distance records with each swim.

When asked if he would be swimming the world’s longest river, the Nile, anytime soon, he replied, “It’s long but not challenging enough. It’s just a small creek.”
